I got estimates for my front yard. My next door neighbor and I wanted to have a low block wall, 4 ft tall and about 54 ft long. They said it would cost $2,250 including labor and materials. I feel that $2,250 is high for 4 ft tall and 54 ft long. Is that too much? Your feedback would be nice.

Thanks!

When I had my swimming pool installed, they took down a 10 foot section of my block wall and charged me $1,300 to put it back. That meant that I was paying more than $21 per square foot to have my section of wall replaced. Pool cntractors tend to charge twice the standard rate for anything done beyond the original contract.

You were quoted about $10.50 per square foot for a new wall. I know it seems very high, but it's probably close to the standard rate.

How do you figure that out?

Do you know any good block walls contractor here in LV?

That sounds about average. I had a block wall also put in, probably real close to your measurements.

I loved the guy that did mine, and highly recommend him.
I will send you a PM.

Thanks Bennysmom. That is the company that gave me the estimate this morning.

Skip the meat and just eat the pudding.

If you think the price is too much, you can always try this:
